They do in England AND they are usually 10 digits long, but I don't think Bob has a phone number in England that gives out message space.... *teehee*

 

[mrhnau]

and 0688123163 and

USER CP

oh! I got it! You need to click on USER CP at least that many times! *checks* yeah, thats about how many times I've done it

 

[Andrew Green]

well, thats a 10 digit number. however, in the US, I don't think phone numbers can begin with a 0

Maybe it's scrambled? :lol:

 

[crushing]

This series has ten digits:

It's funny that when I search the Lost Show lottery numbers I get a result with an ISBN 0691080976 which is for the book How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method.

Maybe we need this or another problem solving book to find the answer to Bob's riddle?

Great book, by the way--a definite classic!

Well now, the hint depth is still fairly shallow and I keep looking at those numbers and seeing December 31st 1963, which doesn't help .

That at first made me think that is way a birthday and membership number type thang but ... at least according to his profile, that's not Mrhnau's birthday so that put the kybosh on that theory .

 

[Andrew Green]

Without actually telling you what it is, the hints can't really go any deeper.

Maybe it's time for a new hobby? Join a club perhaps? :lol:

 

[Lisa]

Don't feel too bad you guys. I had to ask, its been so long since it happened for me, I forgot!

{Yoda voice}Taunts us, he does, hmmm!{/Yoda} .

Days of membership at the end of December, perhaps?

 

[Andrew Green]

The best part is, when you do figure it out, you get to realise how blatantly obvious the clues are when you know what the answer is

 

[Sukerkin]

That's always the way of these things .

It's what makes riddles and puzzles so appealing (the "If it's so darned obvious why can't I see it?!" factor).

 

[Shaderon]

Absolutely, any puzzle is easy when you knwo the answer. Even though it doesn't really affect me it's chewing at me too.

 

[JBrainard]

I can't stand puzzles.
Gollem would've eaten me alive...

 

[Shaderon]

i don't normally like them but the intruige me. I prefer to be told the answer to wonder about it and try and work it out.

 

[Lisa]

I have emptied out my pm box.

Mr. Chew is taking bribes.

 

[Shaderon]

OOoOOOoohhhhh what sort of bribes does Mr Chew like?

Bones? Blood? Limbs? Flowers for Mrs. Chew?

 

[bluemtn]

I imagine that the Chew's enjoy miscellaneous menus... From the very fine foods, to the good old fashioned tater tots.

It's not a phone number.



But, there is another hint in this post.

 

[Shaderon]

Hmmm *Stares at Bob*

Ok if we take that number "0688123163" and search Amazon with it using it as an ISBN we get the book "Raving Fans: A Revolutionary approach to Customer Service". http://www.amazon.com/Raving-Fans-R...290894-5004674?ie=UTF8&qid=1178270779&sr=11-1

So by Crushing's comment we now know that the number is an ISBN.

God how thick am I? i should have picked that up earlier.

Now how does that in relation to USER CP give extra message space???
